D–PRE Discrete Class–A Mic PreampsThis is where it all starts. Everything you do as a sound engineer is dependent on the quality of your preamps, which determines the direction your mix will take, and ultimately how good it is going to sound. MG Series mixing consoles feature Yamaha's studio–grade discrete class–A D–PRE preamps, which utilize an inverted Darlington circuit comprising two cascading transistors in a configuration that provides more power with lower impedance. Delivering fat, natural sounding bass and smooth, soaring highs, with very low distortion, D–PRE preamps possess an impressively wide frequency range that allow them to handle signal from any audio source without overly amplifying any specific elements of the sound. Having such a pure sonic platform to build on will ultimately save you time and effort by eliminating the need for excessive EQing or additional effects processing in order to "fix" your mix.

High Quality Sound Op–ampThe head amp determines sound quality, and op–amp integrated circuits are one of the most important parts in the head amp circuit. MG Series mixers feature new, high–quality, custommade MG01 op–amps that we developed in cooperation with the semiconductor manufacturer. Although many other Op–amps prioritize electrical design and efficiency, we worked directly with the semiconductor manufacturer to focus on sound quality first. MG01 op–amps feature redesigned circuitry in which even the internal components and wiring have been optimized, and use materials such as high–quality silicon wafers and copper wire to achieve superb resolution.

Switchable Phantom Power & PAD SwitchWith phantom power, MG Series consoles allow you to take full advantage of the greater frequency response and high sound quality of condenser microphones. The input channel with PAD switch accepts MIC to line level of inputs, PAD Switch attenuates high input signals that often accompany mic'ed instruments during performance, avoiding the clipping that can seriously affect your mix.

1–knob CompressorsCompression plays an essential role in just about any recording or sound reinforcement environment by altering the level of dynamics of an audio signal when you need livelier guitars, punchier bass lines, a tighter snare, or a cleaner vocal sound. However, it can take countless hours to master the complexities of even the most basic outboard compression units and use them effectively. Originally a Yamaha innovation, 1–knob compressors are now an industry standard that gives you instant access to optimized compression settings via a single rotary control.

EQ and High–pass FiltersThere's nothing more useful than reliable equalization when you need nuanced management of your tone. The MG Series benefits from Yamaha's unparalleled experience in designing pro audio gear, featuring 3–band equalizers on all mono channels for precise control of your sound. High–pass filter allows you to eliminate unwanted low–frequency noise, for a smoother, cleaner mix.

Metal ChassisBuilt to last, MG Series mixers feature a rugged, impact–resistant, powder–coated metal chassis, offering an unrivalled level of durability. With a sleek design contoured for optimal convection cooling, the internal layout separates the power supply from the analog circuitry for superior noise reduction, and further extends the life of the components inside. To further ensure reliable performance, knob control placement above the surface of the chassis diverts any impact or pressure on the knobs to the chassis itself and not the circuit board or components underneath.

XLR ConnectorThe main stereo outputs feature XLR type connectors that lock to prevent accidental disconnection. Rugged and dependable, these professional connectors ensure providing stable signal transmission even in the most demanding environments.

LED level meteringEasy–to–read LED level metering allows output levels to be monitored with precision.
